Membership

Join the Bike Cooperative!
The benefits of joining the Cabrillo Bike Cooperative pay for the
cost in just a few hours. Have unlimited access (during open hours) to
any tool you could need, a ton of used parts and discounted new parts.
Learn maintenance skills that you'll use the rest of your bicycling
life.

Membership for Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer is $20 for each
period. Heck of a deal. Consider that the requested donation for use of
the Cooperative is $5 per hour – which is still a better deal than
paying a bike shop to do work...

Members of the Bike Cooperative have no other obligations.
However, we do request that you contribute to the community. We have
events like workshops and clinics, dis/organized bike rides, and outings
to other community events. Sometimes we ride to Monterey or Pescadero
on a whim. Summers are always full of bike adventuring among our
members.

If you cannot afford hourly rates or membership dues, you will
not be turned away, however we do ask if you can volunteer in any way
that you are able.

Volunteer as a mechanic

Core members of the Bike Cooperative volunteer their time to run
the shop; we can't operate without them. As an incentive, core members
are offered free membership for their service. Core members get other
fringe benefits, too: dibs on quality parts and components, use of a
refrigerator, free food and coffee (or yerba maté), and a little bit of
storage space. For more information, please inquire here, walk into the cooperative during open hours, or attend one of our meetings.

UPDATE: Beginning Spring Semester 2011,
volunteers are able to get shop credit for (only) used parts in exchange
for their time spent doing specific tasks according to a to-do list in
the shop. Simply log your hours on the volunteer clip board. This
information will be kept in a spreadsheet along with a record of parts
to be exchanged for this time.
